Check.This.Out. You can convert almost any vintage typewriter into a keyboard or iPad dock with USBTypewriter's kit. They say that anyone can install it and that no special tools are required.

No deaths or fatalities have been reported, and none are expected in the foreseeable future, though stories are told of numerous "close calls" due to slippery rooftops and heavy jet traffic around major airports."
